I did not use the permatex black. I went back and got thread locker/anaerobic sealer

 

 

You can see where 2 tabs of 4 broke. It also has a spring and washer. I put the spring and stem back in the oe plastic cartridge filter and drove it like that for a week wating on the adapter. I didnt know if the washer went below or above the spring. So I left it out. Didnt want it in the motor if the stem broke . I had to twist the stem to get it to lock back in place.

 

There are lots of bronco adapter videos with the same motor. The 2.7 liter ecoboost. I didn't have to remove anything. I just used a extension on the torque wrench. As easy as changing the oil. They had instructions. The 15/16 wrench part didn't make sense. Until the last few turns of the valve stem piece. I used a small wva socket set (adjustable wrench) as well as the 15/16. That's the only part there wasn't alot of room. But I didn't have to remove anything. They didn't list a 7/16 deep well socket or 3/16 allen key socket. But I used those also.
